I just do not believe these idiots!

:banghead:

must have gone to the same school. Shit For brains High!

Left of Cool

otherwise known as F**k U.

... that any negative views or commentary regarding Katrina in foreign countries is due to the looting -- rather than the utter incompetence and apathy of the Bush Administration.

Just like they tried to make their sheeple believe that Bill Clinton's lascivious behavior would be frowned upon by foreigners -- who, in reality, thought the uproar over the Clenis to be ridiculous.

It really is beyond any imaginable logic that the "appropriation" of things like food, water, diapers and baby formula would be condemnable offenses, making her PR work more difficult, when any type of humanitarian relief was barred from entering the city.

Fuck Hughes.

The fucking asshole morans. :puke:

toilet that's got the Islamic world up in arms against America. Yeah, fine, Hughes. That's the ticket. It's the looters. Blame it on somebody WAY down the food chain. Blame it on ANYBODY WAY down the food chain. But whatever you do, DON'T look in the mirror...

With acts like that, Gitmo and Abu Graib, looting in NOLA is about as far down the chain as you can get.

According to Brian Williams last night, the bodies are still there.

you and bush are what sickens people around the world. The only thing you and your administration know how to do is blame everyone else and everything else for your failures. We have had enough of you.

The gall of these people is utterly astounding.
We shouldn't even be surprised, but their hypocrisy and nerve still stuns me.

asinine remark....they say something that:wow: :wtf: :hurts: :argh: :banghead: :spank: :rant: :cry: :rofl: It's just so :silly: anymore. Frankly, I think their action are more embarrassing and cause more of a problem than some desperate flood victim stealing ANYTHING.

loved all the little guys shrieking. my sentiments exactly. but you said it better.

"The images of crime being committed in the face of an awful natural disaster is hard for anyone to understand, people around the world and Americans. It sickens me as an American," she said. "How could criminals prey on vulnerable elderly citizens and children during a time of such horror?"

Do you think Dubya and his cronies will be pissed that she is talking about them like that?

...I was going to post near verbatim remarks to yours but you beat me to the punch! :toast:

:sarcasm:

Nice try, Karen, you dumb cow.

I'm sure the aristocracy in France suffered much the same affliction before the people whacked off their heads. I hope we're at the point for some symbolic beheading in this country. It's the best way to kill a snake, from what I hear. Fire all of these people. Run them out of town. God help us, if they maintain a majority after 2006.

The French revolution has been on my mind for days. I honestly think George Jr. missed that part of history class.

while now..............

ROFLMAO

her mind?? Maybe none of the violence would've happened if Bush and FEMA had done their jobs!!!

And could have been minimized if our National Guard had been here to do the job.

From the article: A Korea Herald editorial this week said it was "unbelievable that in America, a country the envy of most of the world's people, residents died by the thousands in a flood, corpses floated in the streets, were left on curbs and even astride the entrances to emergency relief centers."

"While media crews from around the world dispatched the gruesome pictures, rescue workers had not yet arrived," the newspaper said in the editorial.

That is what will tarnish American's image, you fat cow. (Apologies to any buxom bovines out there--I like milk!)

(edited to add subjunctive)

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

If anyone with half a brain buys this, I'll eat my hat.

FReepers excluded, of course.

Be careful of redundant repetitions.

"The images of crime being committed in the face of an awful natural disaster is hard for anyone to understand, people around the world and Americans. It sickens me as an American," she said. "How could The President prey on vulnerable elderly citizens and children during a time of such horror?"

More from the pimp


"But what I will challenge in any stories I see is any idea that we didn't want to help people. We certainly wanted to help everyone," Hughes said, noting that a disproportionate number of the hardest-hit victims are black.

"It's offensive to me to suggest that somehow, as I've seen some headlines and some reports do, that people, that Americans weren't helped because they are poor or because of their race," Hughes said. "That is anti-American. That is not what our country is about."

but it's hard work.

Of course no. Everybody knows it's because they were mostly Democrats.

"It's offensive to me to suggest that somehow, as I've seen some headlines and some reports do, that people, that Americans weren't helped because they are poor or because of their race," Hughes said. "That is anti-American. That is not what our country is about."

No, you stupid bitch. It's your idiot brat Duyba who is tarnishing our reputation abroad. Even if the heads of Homeland Security, FEMA, and Dubya himself didn't seem to realize what was going on, the world watched as New Orleans drowned, and saw reporters, but no aid coming in. The world has read that FEMA turned away countless groups, such as the Red Cross, who were prepared to go in and offer help.

Instead of pretending that abandoned Americans who took food, water, formula, diapers, etc., from stores that were standing empty were uncivilized looters, why don't you give them the same status as the white survivors who "found" supplies? If the supplies leave the store in white hands, they were "found". If they leave in black hands, they were "looted."

Don't even try to pretend that this is not the way things were portrayed, because we saw the pictures, and read the captions. You can take your offended self, and your offensive, pampered, arrogant brat of a boss, and let people who actually give a damn about all of the citizens of this country assume control.

You are used to the gullibility of many of the American public, but I don't think the rest of the world is so narcotized by your spin as some of us are. Go away.

it's so 2004.

It isn't what our country's about...but it IS what our current feckless bunch of fucks masquerading AS a government IS about.

Anti-American, my ass. Just Anti-BushCo.

I am so embarassed. What have these asshole Republicans done to my country by putting these inept criminals in charge!!

FU! FU! FU Karen Hughes!

I am sure most of the world can't believe we left our own people to fend for themselves

And that is how the rest of the world sees this, that this country left the poor to fend for themselves, while the better-off took off for higher ground. She still doesn't get it, the dumb bitch. (Sorry, but that is just what she is. This cold-hearted, vacant -headed bitch is what W is sending to put a better face on his propaganda around the world-un-fucking-believable.)

The remark about criminals looting (and she couldn't believe it or thought it was the worst thing possible or whatever she said). Surely Bush, Hughes, & Co. know that nobody outside the U.S. will believe that looting is bad, but abandoning hurricane victims is acceptable.

That had to be for domestic consumption. Shift the focus.

....The Neocon arrogance is only surpassed by their resolve.

food, medical supplies to the people in some semblance of a timely manner: that isn't image though, that is reality.

Halliburton will probably be awarded a $20 billion contract to rebuild Toup Lott's porch.

And in condemning New Orleans, they can sieze all the property to divvy amongst themselves. Have the taxpayers fund reconstruction and shoring up the levees. Then make out like bandits. So who's looting?

I just now realized the horror of imminent domain. I would bet many houses are going to be taken and used for a "better purpose". I just see it now. And right you are about your other comments.



PS- We're both bike lovers. I ride a Giant NRS Air.

I fear that we haven't even begun to experience what the government is prepared to do to us with their "new definition" of eminent domain ... I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!

our image is not tarnished by the deaths of innocent civilians of all shapes and sizes in Iraq. Nobody is bothered about that. Right Ms. Hughes.

Sigh.

180

Karen Huges' remarks reach new heights of arrogance.
This is a disgrace. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

the corruption in government louisiana from the feds to the locals -- that have allowed the continous raping and pillaging of the state's resources and those resources leaving the state is the real shame karen -- and you're just trying to protect the latest in a long line of people who have looted the state -- and kept it's people poor.

that, my dear, is the dreadful secret that the world knows and america turns it's nose up at.

I don't know Karen, we have been asking the Bush** Administration the same thing for 5 years and still don't have an answer, jus tmore wind from Administration hacks like you.

.. not the lack of response or Bush's criminal dereliction of duty.

People were dying, sitting in horrible shelter conditions, starving, dehydrating, trapped in and on homes and roofs..

.. but it's the so-called "looting" that counts.

I don't think the desperate actions of victims is what people overseas are worried about when it comes to Bush's America. Yes, crime is a problem.. corporate and governmental.

J'accuse should be the common cry of the day. But will anybody in the fuckedup GOP be called to account? I doubt it.

One law for Dems, no law for Reeps.

Sue

Impeach them all, NOW? Pretty please? Every single last one of them need to just STFU.

Karen, what HAS tarnished our image abroad is the massive failure of our government in responding to this catastrophe. I think the televised images of dying babies and floating corpes of Americans while our leadership vacationed may have something to do with our tarnished image, Karen. Aren't you supposed to be spreading propoganda in the Middle East instead of here, Karen?

rebellion and some riots, then they can declare Marshall Law in the entire country. They seem to be going out of their way to make us angrier and angrier. It will be interesting to see how they direct law enforcement to deal with the September 24th demonstrations in DC.
:scared:

Coming to a city near you soon.

spell martial law, just too many posts and didn't doublecheck. Thanks for the correction. It still sucks though no matter how you spell it.

a tractor trailer load of clues . . . because right now, they don't have any . . . none . . . nada . . .

I'm just going to go into a corner and cry.

What an ugly choice she's made.

She's such an integral part of the Bush Spin Cycle Machine, it's not even Funny.

She directs a lot of this stuff...she's not clueless.

they use the talking points she sends them. "If they make statements based on something I sent them," she said, "they're not going to be called on the carpet."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/08/AR2005090801788.html

drag it down by playing up the hype and some rumors in an effort to deflect from the real image issue that the US is being run by a bunch of sleazy crooks and incompetent boobs. Geez, I hate these people.

which is hard to do, if you think about it.

I'm sure she'll plant lots of fake news stories in other countries, secretly pay the press to write flattering pieces...but it's a big world out there and I'm sure she will never succeed, coming at things with her messed up viewpoint.

Yeah, the looters were the whole problem, yeah right.

just doing her nasty job and getting paid quite well

They have no clue whatsoever, and will continue in this vein until they are stopped.

:nuke:

All news reports of this disaster here are very understanding of the looting (most to survive, other......so friggin' what!!!!!!)

DemEx

these are the same fucks who wouldn't allow blue helmets
commanding US military- BUT NOW we have Mexican army units ( I'll take the help) operating on US soil for the first time since 1846. The Canadian
flag is flying in the heart of NOLA.

Which looks worse- desperate people doing whatever they need to do to survive or a government incapable of protecting it's own people!

Opposite world.

Bush Ho.

Neil Bush could help us understand looting

the definition is very simple... if your poor, black or old in a nursing home and you are looking for food your looting

she is a fucking lunatic like the rest of the neo-shits

care less what the rest of the world thought of them! No? What? Hello?

I think Hughes will create a much larger feeling of hatred for the U.S..

it defies all reasonable expectations.

because believe me, the rest of the world isn't buying it! You think they were scratching their heads at us before? I wouldn't blame them if they didn't lift a finger to help, but being the good world citizens that they are, and understanding that we're all in this together, they help. The ONLY comfort I can take is that the vast majority of the rest of the world is with us, the progressives of the U.S. of Arms. The rest of humanity gets it.

BTW, Welcome to DU cdnwannabe!

:)

Icky little toot always appears when bush has scraped his knees.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've read today. I can see why he hired her.

America's image abroad. I am sure Ms. Hughes mispoke. :evilgrin:

actual genocide are probably doing more to harm our reputation around the world than people trying to find things to help them survive.

from our country. or anyone associated with bushco. let's just switch metaphors, shall we? they've joy-ridden our country into a ditch and left its smoldering, dripping chassis for someone else to clean up and tow away. the frame's bent and it's never gonna have that new-car smell again.

go into the KKK archives and find some pictures of lynchings.

That'll provide some balance!

Go back under the rock from which you crawled!

(They are American) And the Danish press is certainly not talking about looters, except on a very minute level. They are talking about a Superpower killing its own people, not wanting/being able to mobilize aid, of people trying to survive and having to break into stores to do it, of the death and destruction and neglect.

The * people are in their own fricking planet, man.

is so bright and shiney as it is...dumbass
:spank:

jenn

be stuck in New Orleans were "looting like everyone else" (remember the Aussies?)

This is just pure evil, no doubt about it.

This feels like Nazi Germany. And everyone but Americans knows it. This is the rise and fall of Nazi America. So the crime family has a mask. Europeans are smart enough to see past that. This is truely offensive. I can't wait until this nightmare is over. And neither can the rest of the world. PR or not.

Let the lies begin. I mean, continue.

Wasn't a big problem for Karen & Co when it happened. Funny thing that.

the MOST damage because their brains are parked with the engines off. THE BUSH (mis)ADMINISTRATION is the reason that America is villified around the world.

So are we back to the white people "find", black people "loot" equation in another stupid bush format? :shrug:

:nuke:

KAREN?!?!

It's not happened at any other time in our history during or after a hurricane because the government was prepared with NG, rations, help, etc.

BLAME GAME!!! NOT OUR FAULT! Just doing her job... :puke:

...when they try to foist stuff like this on the people of this nation. What is truly appalling is the image of citizens being reduced to having to do anything they can to survive, since the most basic aid and assistance was nowhere to be found in this land of "compassionate conservatism".



"Yes and every bloody emperor's got his hands up history's skirt
as he poses for posterity over the fresh-dug dirt.
Yes and every bloody emperor with his sickly rictus grin
talks his way out of nearly anything but the lie within
because every bloody emperor thinks his right to rule divine
so he'll go spinning and spinning and spinning into his own decline."

Has Already Tarnished American Image Abroad!

I love this line - She must be talking about the Bush administration, right?

"How could criminals prey on vulnerable elderly citizens and children during a time of such horror?"

Oh, I thought she was talking about her party's treatment of us......................

Black people loot. White people find stuff. The FBI takes "souvenirs"
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4373627 /

FBI agents took Ground Zero souvenirs

By Lisa Myers, Jim Popkin and the NBC Investigative Unit
NBC News
Updated: 7:33 p.m. ET Feb. 25, 2004

After 9/11, 400 FBI agents from around the country were dispatched to New York to look for evidence in the ruins of the World Trade Center. But now a federal investigation reveals that, while they sifted through piles of rubble, many of those same FBI agents removed items to use as souvenirs or gifts for bosses, friends and colleagues.

NBC News Senior Investigative Correspondent Lisa Myers has learned that at least 13 FBI agents took items including American flags that once flew over the World Trade Center, marble chunks of buildings from the towers, patches from World Trade Center security-guard uniforms, signs and keys marked “World Trade Center,” a glass Tiffany globe that originally cost $350 and somehow survived the collapse.

The items, and the agents’ behavior, are outlined in a scathing report issued in December by the Justice Department's Inspector General. Sources familiar with the Inspector General’s investigation provided details of the still-confidential report to the NBC News Investigative Unit. The report recommends disciplinary action for two agents who allegedly took items from the World Trade Center ruins, and chastises the FBI for having “no written policy governing what could be taken from recovery sites or mass crime scenes.”

“A memento from a mass grave of 3,000 people,” says Monica Gabriel, whose husband, Richard, died on 9/11. "To think of taking something from that site is not only ghoulish, it’s despicable. Nothing should be taken.”

... has damaged our image beyond anything the television-thieves could have done. With Karen Hughes defending our image, America needs no detractors.

"What I say is it's not about us. It's about all of us as civilized people," she said.

Civilized people don't leave the vulnerable stranded in the path of Destruction.

is there ANYONE in this mis-administration who has ever shopped and paid for their groceries; prepared the meals for their family; scrimped 2 put first and last on an apartment and deposits on multiple utilities. These people live somewhere 98% of us do not!

whoa....what a hypocrite


got news for you Karen...I live abroad...and it's not the American people folks across the pond are ashamed of...it's YOU and your boss Bush.

"How could criminals prey on vulnerable elderly citizens and children during a time of such horror?"

Ask your fellow reptilicans. You all are nothing but a bunch of cold blooded criminals.

Yeah. That's what we really need to worry about. Our image abroad was JUST FINE until those nasty poor desperate black people started tarnishing it.

Karen, you're new at this job, so let me give you just a partial list of some of the things that have damaged our image abroad:

* lying about weapons of mass destruction in the UN
* invading Iraq without UN approval (or a good reason)
* Shock & Awe
* Shock & Awe
* did I mention Shock & Awe?
* Rampant unchecked looting following the Shock & Awe
* Uday & Qusay Hussein Decompose-O-Cam
* Fallujah
* Fallujah, again
* Fallujah, one more time
* Abu Ghraib
* Abu Ghraib, with dog leash
* Abu Ghraib, with electrodes
* Car bombs
* Abu Ghraib, now with new shit-smearing action
* More car bombs
* Incompetent reconstruction of Iraq
* Halliburton
* Even bigger car bombs
* Ambassador Bolton
* "Brownie, You're Doing a Heck of a Job"

I coudl go on, but I'd be here all day,

The Plaid Adder

lives.

they are VERY quick to point the finger and blame others, but the facts are that AWOL Bush was true to his nickname and was AWOL for 5 days after the hurricane hit. if he'd have gotten off his ass and got troops in there on time a lot more people would be alive today.

:banghead: :argh:

Someone needs to create a smilies that do the 2 snaps in the air!

Every time I see her on the television, a cold shiver runs up my neck tingling the hairs on the back of my head.

IMO she's pure propaganda and distortions ... she's evil. :puke:

I can't figure it out.

Tnen of course thousands waiting days for rescue in a major US city, dying for lack of aid, clean water, food, medicine while Bushco ate cake made a distinctly poor impression.

So much for the world's only "superpower." Kids in a Hundai drive from N. Carolina and rescue folks from NOLA while the feds claim they can't make it into the city.

The jaw dropper for the world was a 21st Century American city dying while Bushco enjoy their vacations and then lie when it sees the "horror"---a PR disaster. They don't see a human catastrophe, requiring immediate relief, just a PR problem to be addressed.

Ya can't spin that Karen. But Lord knows, y'all are trying.

Who gets the blame today?
Well, players, it looks like the poor people who didn't have suv's and pantries full of food supplies had no choice but to find their survival needs by a mondern day form of hunting and gathering. Spin the wheel and find out if it was SURVIVAL or LOOTING!

Tune in tomorrow to see if the new eminent domain laws will be used to keep these same people from ever seeing their own properties again. We'll spin the wheel and see if they deserve to keep their own properties or not! Will it be SLUMS or CONDOS.

You want an info war, you FAT, UGLY PIG? You got one.

for the rest of his life.

I'm sickened" as an American too that people like you do their dandiest to blame, excuse, obfuscate, shift, etc. etc. Have you no shame Karen?

Let the levees fail, wash it clean of poor people, steal the land.

I hope it is acceptable to say that since my other rant was deleted.

She can excite me to no end faster than Karl Rove can spin.

SPECIFICALLY THE LOOTING OF THE PAST TWO PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

thank you Skittles for speaking out.

has already made the US the laughingstock of the world.

As another Bu$h "loyalist appointee", she is probably more qualified to run FEMA than she is to be a diplomat.
:evilgrin:

and the reason the chaos happened was because of a failure of the most basic measure of leadership in the executive branch.

They had the 82nd air born ready to roll a day before the hurricane made land fall, and if NOLA had 5 thousand relief soldiers in there setting up shelters in areas outside the effected areas, moving people, feeding people, everyone could have gotten out of the dome in a timely manner and had access to water, food, shelter, and medicine. They could have set up shuttles from would have come quicker if they were eating, dry, had chemical toileets and were moving through to

bush can waste troops in Iraq but he can't send in troops with relief for Americans on our own soil.

The 82nd air born could have done search and rescue, and recovery and they could have freed the cops up to control a much less tense and dis-orderly situation. Over the next few days the National Guard from other states and civilian crews could have re-enforced law enforcement efforts and emergency services.

bush makes us look bad again!

Karen is right. The looting made us look bad. i don't think many can disagree.

It's like what's wrong with America that they can't feed and shelter their own people in a disater.

They wanted the entire rescue effort to be run by 'faith based organizations'. Christian charities like the Red Cross, Salvation Army and...Operation Blessing? If they could prove that these organizations could do the job, they could dispense with another onerous government duty.

They deliberatly made N.O. a guinea pig for their ideology - a half-baked, cockeyed theory formulated at the Heritage Foundation or the American Enterprise Institute.

Just like thousands died for the PNAC neocon theories of world empire, thousands in LA, MS and AL died for Norquist's wrong-headed theories.

COME INTO THE 21ST CENTURY!!! If you want to test your fucking theories use a fucking comuputer model! Peoples lives are not fucking toys!

abroad, it's gotta be Karen Hughes. (Insert flamethrowing, barfing smilies here; I don't think DU server resources need to be wasted on the idiot.)

omg i feel like my heads gonna to explode!!!

IMPEACH BUSH AND SEND THEM ALL TO THE HAGUE!

machine?

KAREN HUGHES = BUSH WHORE

typical bushite tactic. Lowlifes R Us/

In the past, I could at least see how their propaganda would work, at least domestically, but their latest effort seem to get lamer and lamer.

Maybe Karl can smell his betrayal coming up and is trying to take them down with him--or make it necessary for them to save him so he can save them.

I doubt she has ever missed a meal in her adult life.

She should try going without food or water for a day or two. Maybe she would feel a tinge of compassion in that hard, tiny heart of hers.

But like that other lackey, Linda Tripp, none of it erases the evil aura around her. Perhaps instead of "pinning up her face" the plastic surgeon should have done more liposuction? ;)

That might help our image abroad. Just a thought.

She seems more fanatical than Condi, and YES even more vile than Ann Coulter. She is a paid propagandist on the payroll of this wretched administration. Worst of the worst. Her heartless, pointed, sterile frothing never fails to make me want to call her the worst name there is. Which I think is being the worst of the worst of the Bush women.

Now, that's bad.

once you recover your breaths and equilibrium (absofuckinglutely unbelievable). Thus is truly a perverse semi-human being.

BUT, shows in what kind of trouble they are in--and know it. What next?

Just look at her, she makes you want to LOOT!

builder will tarnish American image abroad.

I was afraid that it was the criminal war and crooked elections that had tarnished us...Looting we can just explain away. </sarcasm>

I think the Bush administration already took care of that.

The world is smart enough to know that the majority of Americans are not looters and killers. You must think so ill of all but those in your own death cult.

They do, however, see through the bullshit and lies.

Want to improve our image? Stop invading other peoples countries and find OBL!

are rep was damaged when we went into Iraq. Will somebody stamp Dump Ass on her forehead please.

you really think the world will forget the pictures of the dead, the pictures from the Super Dome. If you think so you are as stupid has your boss.


Go to hell Karen, may you burn there forever.

UN Security council. The whole world was watching that day, eh?

...will just be forgotten??

Piss off, Hughes.

How do these people look in the fucking mirror, sleep at night, go to church, pray??

As if the President hasn't done more than enough to tarnish the American image abroad for years to come!

so SHE is going to promote a "positive" image of the USA? Will the insanity never end?

and she, as the head of the Ministry of Propaganda deserves a fair and speedy trial in The Hague with the rest of the criminals.

There is something sinister going down—it's not simply incompetence or negligence.

lack of response to our own people dying of thirst and starvation. People were trying to get food and water that isn't looting. The world knows that. Any other looting was condoned earlier by Rumsfeld. Free people are free to loot. Oh wait..it's Iraq that is free not us.

don't make us look bad. :wtf:

Karen,

Remember,

Freedom's messy.

Besides, it's the same bottle of water and box of
diapers being looted all over again.

You insipid vile loathsome disgusting unthinking excuse for a human being

The bunch she works for are leading experts in tarnishing American image abroad.

"It sickens me as an American. How could criminals prey on vulnerable elderly citizens and children..."

That's what I've been wondering, too. Oh, wait... I thought she was talking about Bu$hco...

the looters.

if this spin works, Americans are so stupid that it's not worth saving the country.

"if this spin works, Americans are so stupid that it's not worth saving the country"

What a stupid $%^&*

UGH!

Is it that they think we are all idiots? Or are they the idiots?

OR is it that they are idiots who think we are all idiots.

poverty in the US.

because they mostly only let white men steal their land.

Like how much credibility does any bushco spokesperson have across the globe after Katrina anyway :shrug:

and he also says to Karen, doing his very best Bill O'Reilly impresiion, 'Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!!"

there's a waste of a good salary.

Just another attempt by the Bushies to put a spin on it. They and the Bush surrogates (all the right wing talking heads)are trying very hard to blame the victims. Ultimately people died because the Bushies were asleep at the wheel. Incompetence at the highest levels. These are the people we are depending on to protect us. That scares the hell out of me.

hoping the world will see beauty. Gawd I can only hope she washes her hands before she prepares her family's dinner!


"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job!"

stupid fucking incompetents! :grr:

Damn!

Un-friggin-believable. These people just continue to surpass themselves. Do they have any idea how transparent they are to a lot of us? Do they have any idea how angry this kind of deceitful patronizing crap makes us? Do they feel any shame at all about demonizing the victims of this tragedy? Do they ever feel any shame about anything? Are they even capable of feeling shame? :grr: :banghead:

there would have been no anarchy and desperation!

It is Bu$hCo that is tarnishing the U$ image abroad and she is adding to the tarnish!
WHAT UNMITIGATED GALL!

It's already been tarnished since Nov. 2, 2000!

BUSHCO, that's who. Ignorant slut.

to say stupid shit like this. Jeezus Christ on a mini scooter!

:crazy:

Also quite rhythmically poetic. I don't know how ignorant Karen "Eva Braun" Hughes is, but obviously she's ignorant enough. Most, if not all of these Bushidos are willfully ignorant, which means to me that they don't even see what they see.

They are not only preying on children and the elderly, they are also the most successful gang of looters since the Mongol hordes.

that survived a hurricane and a flood..and he let them starve to death...WTF can they do with a tv? and how far can that go...there were 100's of thousands of people there waiting for help...a few were looting and stealing...HELLO..when you have that many people in a dark city...you will encounter criminals..that is not what I will remember..its what THEY (adminsitration) hope we remember

by Americans with electric cables attached to their genitals,dead Iraqi children blown away by American bombs and poor black people lying dead in water for days might have tarnished that all American image just a little bit already.

She means she love the America where the rich,white people have huge houses,bigger bank accounts and their own guarded communities away from the poor black trash. Her America where the white kids go to the best schools,meet the best people,run the biggest corporations,hire their cronies no matter how corrupt or inexperienced, her America where the rich get richer, the shrinking middle class pays the tax bill and the poor simply get screwed time after time.

Ignorant,soulless woman, doesn't she know that it is HER America that appalls the rest of the world?

her beautiful mind lives with Babs.

she must have gotten the memo with the talking points. I, personally, think that's the least of our worries regarding our "image abroad."

Karen Hughes says "New Orleans looting will tarnish American image abroad." Gee, Karen just started and already she's out of touch with reality. Head's up Karen, our "image abroad" is already tarnished. Forgive me Ms. Hughes I believe this is the least of our worries about our "image abroad." The whole world saw the man-made disaster of a response on the part of the President and the Federal Government. It was a national disgrace. I really don't think the "looting" and "crime" talking points will overshadow the colossal failure of the Federal Government in the United States of America to immediately respond to American citizens in dire need. The world headlines I read were more about "Super Power Humbled" and poverty in the US, and racism, and stuff like that; actually didn't see "looting" at all.

Do they know in Iraq? Is the war over? Now are they throwing flowers at us? Has Karen straightened out those little misunderstandings? Next week - Medal of Freedom. She deserves it. And all the others too. BushWorld where reality is in the mind of the powerful.

Our country's image will suffer because of the criminal Bush administration and its indifference to the suffering of the most vulnerable citizens.

"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things," Rumsfeld said. Looting, he added, was not uncommon for countries that experience significant social upheaval. "Stuff happens," Rumsfeld said.

Rumsfeld: There's nothing wrong with a bit of looting 11 Apr 2003 The United States Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, has tonight dismissed reports of mass chaos and lawlessness in Iraq as "exaggerated". "The so-called looting is not as bad as some reports have suggested," he said at a Pentagon briefing. "Yes, people are ransacking hospitals, burning down buildings and fighting each other in the streets, but it's not that bad. Stuff happens."

the very ammo most likely being used to kill our troops in Iraq now. Has there ever been a more evil or incompetent bunch of dickheads running this country?

She deserves to rot in hell for that statement.

The only thing that makes Rove worse than her is that he acts covertly.
